"I am sad boys and I am tired"

The excerpt at the bottom reminded me of this clip from the 1999 movie Ride With The Devil.

" I'm 70 and I'm Tired "

ByRobert A. Hall

I'm 70Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce and asix-month period when I was between jobs, butjob-hunting every day, I've worked, hard,since I was 18.Despite some health challenges, I still put in50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick inseven or eight years. I make a good salary, butI didn't inherit my job or my income, and Iworked to get where I am. Given the economy,there's no retirement in sight, and I'm tired.Very tired.I'm tiredof being told that I have to "spread the wealth"to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tiredof being told the government will take the money Iearned, by force if necessary, and give it topeople too lazy to earn it.I'm tiredof being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace,"when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim menkilling their sisters, wives and daughters fortheir family "honor"; of Muslims rioting oversome slight offense; of Muslims murderingChristian and Jews because they aren't"believers"; of Muslims burning schools forgirls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victimsto death for "adultery"; of Muslims mutilatingthe genitals of little girls; all in the name ofAllah, because the Qur'an and Sharia law tells them to.I'm tiredof being told that, out of "tolerance for othercultures", we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil moneyto fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preachhate in America and Canada, while no Americannor Canadian group is allowed to fund a church,synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia toteach love and tolerance.I'm tiredof being told I must lower my living standardto fight global warming, which no one is allowed to debate.

I'm tired of being told that drug addicts have a diseaseand I must help support and treat them, and pay for thedamage they do. Did a giant germ rush out of adark alley, grab them, and stuff white powder uptheir noses while they tried to fight it off?I'm tiredof hearing wealthy athletes, entertainersand politicians of both parties talking about innocentmistakes, stupid mistakes or youthful mistakes, when weall know they think their only mistake was getting caught.I'm tired of people with a sense of entitlement, rich or poor.I'm real tiredof people who don't take responsibility fortheir lives and actions. I'm tired of hearing them blamethe government, or discrimination or big-whateverfor their problems. Yes, I'm damn tired. But I'm also glad tobe 70 - because, mostly, I'm not going to haveto see the world these people are making. I'mjust sorry for my granddaughters and grandsons. Robert A.
